Hi Terry,
There are three ways you can manage batch job schedules
1. Using the job scheduler
When you schedule batch jobs using the SAP Business Objects Data Services job scheduler, it creates an entry in the operating system's scheduling utility on the Job Server computer. Windows uses the Task Scheduler and UNIX systems use the CRON utility. (Note that if you make changes to a schedule directly through these utilities, the job scheduler will not reflect those changes.)
2. Scheduling jobs in SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence platform
If you are using SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence platform and you want to manage your
SAP Business Objects Data Services job schedules in that application, first create a connection to a
Central Management Server (CMS), then configure the schedule to use that server.
3. Using a third-party scheduler
When you schedule jobs using third-party software:
• The job initiates outside of SAP Business Objects Data Services.
• The job runs from an executable batch file (or shell script for UNIX) exported from SAP Business Objects Data Services.
Note:
When a third-party scheduler invokes a job, the corresponding Job Server must be running.

M Ramesh
